Hello Jeff,

Thank you on behalf of all August School Third grade students and teachers.  The looks on the students’ faces was priceless.  They were equally happy when they showed their parents after school.

Please thank all the North Stockton Rotarians.  You have given the students an invaluable tool.

Now I wish I would have taken more pictures.
